Canada Protected and Conserved Areas Database (CPCAD)
About
Any official protected area and conserved area that has been successfully assessed is stored on a federal database tracking progress towards the target of protecting 30% of land, water, and oceans by 2030.
This page gives a full overview of progress, including provincial breakdowns.
The interactive map that shows all current protected and conserved areas in the database can be a helpful place to look at the beginning of your municipality’s interest in protecting more land and water because you can confirm what land and water is already protected in your local region. This map and the associated database (CPCAD) is updated annually.

We believe in the major opportunity for municipalities to showcase their conservation efforts on a national platform. This is where biodiversity can be protected, where conservation lands can be connected, and Canadians can gain an appreciation for their local natural wonders.
